And finally the beautiful Felixstowe long range patrol flying boat - Used for anti-sub and anti zeppelin patrols. Heavily armed (typically 5 or more MGs) and aggressively flown.

Mighty tasty. That's one of those must do projects for 2012. I've downloaded the rules but it's a pain to translate. ;D

Just noticed there are no pilots on the planes. Is it possible to put them or the head is too fidly to print?

Good point. I think it is tradition from plastic kits. It is too late now anyways as over 20 different models has been designed.

I think it would be easy to take these: http://www.hyperscale.com/2009/reviews/maritime/goffygfs007reviewse_1.htm

And use the head and upper torso....  

These guys could be used as gunners in two-seaters or bombers..


Fujimi also has crew figures but the resin ones above looks more detailed: http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/misc/fujimi/350-fjm-figs2/fig-review.html

Nice. You've got all the angles covered :D

I'm thinking of using clear round sequins for propellers (http://www.simplysequins.co.uk/5mm-flat-round-crystal-clear-sequins-545-p.asp). What size(s) do you suggest?

Sequins is a good idea and they look great when mounted. For a fighter aircraft the propellor would be around 7,1(Spad XIII - 7,4 mm (Camel). For a two seater i guess 8 -9 mm.

You can also use a leather hole punch tool in the right size and make the sequin your self out of a sheet of overhead projector film.

Hi again

I just wanted to post some of our ongoing work so here is two (note: Text is unedited.. we will work on language,grammer and spelling) examples of the game materials

Plane reference and comparison sheet:


Cockpit panel used in-game. One for each plane in the game. The speed indicator disk is printed on transparent foil and mounted so it can rotate - thus noting the current speed.
